Still here
Hi, just a note to say I'm still here and will be actually working on the depot layout very soon, a nice set of baseboards have been ordered with http://www.whiterosemodelworks.co.uk/.
Also as mentioned in a previous post, I'm pleased to announce two excellent locomotives on the way in HO from TOMIX, first for summer 2010 we have the JRF EF66-100 and soon the nice red thunder EF510.

Christmas Gifts
I was really pleased that for my second loco they had managed to obtain the rare TOMIX EF64-1015 in two tone blue JRFreight colours, this loco I have been informed is the only one in its class in this scheme, the loco men didnt approve as they say its easy to confuse with an EF65 series so further repaints were in blue and white, this brings my total EF64-1000 rosta up to four locomotives, with news of a new manufacturer "AClass models" introducing the EF64-0000 series of locos in 1/80 HO i can see this class becoming very numerous on the layout.

Small depot layout
I have been working too many hours to even think about putting some time into Futatsu no Kawa so I have decided to start on a small depot layout so I can at least exhibit some of my 20 locomotives. These depot layouts or TMD as they are called here in the UK are very popular take a look at http://www.dyserth-road.co.uk/ and http://www.wellsgreen-tmd.co.uk/
I dont know of the name of the depot layout as yet,, suggestions are welcome.

Christmas again (楽しいクリスマスおよびよい新年)
Happy Christmas and a good new year to all my blog readers (楽しいクリスマスおよびよい新年) hopefully 2009 will see some more action on the layouts construction with some photographs added of the scenery construction.
The photo above shows one of my favorite Kiha 100 series JR East DMU sets in a snowy setting, i have several of this type on the layout made by ENDO in the PRUS plastic and brass range.
